Who are ya? ITV pundit Glenn Hoddle calls Algeria Al Jazeera

Someone might want to check ITV pundit Glenn Hoddle’s crib notes for the Algeria v Germany World Cup second round match – after the former England manager referred to the north African team as Al Jazeera, the Middle Eastern-based global television news channel.

Hoddle is by no means the first pundit to come a cropper during the tournament – during the admittedly dreadful Iran v Nigeria match, Kevin Kilbane referred to 33 minutes as being ‘on the stroke of half time’, Phil Neville’s sat nav delivery as a summariser for the England v Italy match has already entered football folklore, and Clarke Carlisle – the man once voted Britain’s brainiest footballer – didn’t know the difference between Ecuador and Colombia players.

Needless to say, Twitter users were quick to pounce on Hoddle’s slip of the tongue and keep the joke going all night.

Glenn Hoddle gets Algeria and Al- Jazeera mixed up. One's an North African nation, the other starred in the Jazz Singer.
